What Causes the Squeaking Sound from Car Wheels?
1 Answers
There are several reasons why car wheels may produce a squeaking sound: 1. Suspension Issues: If the squeaking occurs during slow driving, it is likely coming from the suspension. The car's suspension includes components such as links, springs, shock absorbers, and stabilizer bars. Any abnormality in one of these parts, such as loose bolts, can cause noise due to movement. 2. Braking System Problems: If the noise intensifies when lightly applying the brakes, it is certain that there is an issue with the braking system. Problems like excessively worn brake pads, uneven wear between the brake disc and brake pads, or faults in the brake calipers, master cylinder, or wheel cylinders can lead to noise in the braking system, typically manifesting as sharp and continuous sounds.
